Few franchises have given their fans so many moments to cherish, and a big part of that magic has always lived in the players who earned a trip to the All-Star Game wearing Rockets red. Here is a warm look back at every Houston Rocket who made the midseason classic their own.
Hakeem Olajuwon: 7-Time All-Star (Hall of Fame)
Hakeem Olajuwon is simply the greatest Rocket who ever lived, and his seven All-Star selections during his time in Houston only begin to tell the story. The Dream gave this city two championship banners, a Defensive Player of the Year reputation that still echoes around the league, and a style of play so elegant it earned worldwide admiration. Any fan cave worth its salt has at least one piece of Hakeem history on the wall.
